This illustrated guide covers the basic principles of the laser, the preoperative work-up of the patient, the exact technique of laser delivery and the associated complications. The more theoretical details have been avoided giving more emphasis to the essentials of performing a successful laser therapy. Special emphasis is also given to laser therapy for vitreoretinal disorders, glaucoma and corneal disorders The use of lasers in the field of refractive surgery is also included in this practical guide for practicing ophthalmologists and residents.
